Carole McKee is originally from Pittsburgh, but has resided in Florida since 2002. Most of her books take place in the Western Pennsylvania area, the place she will always call home. Carole is a passionate writer, making readers feel the emotions of her characters. One reader exclaimed, "Carole McKee's books help cleanse the tear ducts!" Her first novel, "Perfect" brought out so much emotion that she got phone calls from people who were in tears when they finished the book. Another reader says that she laughs and then she cries with every one of McKee's books. Carole's writing career actually began in 1995 when she wrote a tribute to her beloved black Labrador Retriever when he passed away. The tribute was published in a veterinary magazine a few months after it was written. Although the stories were in her head, she didn't begin writing seriously until 2006 when she began writing "Perfect." It was published in 2007. She entered "Perfect" in a contest and it won an 'honorable mention' which was just the encouragement she needed to seriously pursue a career as a writer. The first of the "Choices" series was published in 2008. Readers didn't want that series to end, so because of many readers asking for more of those same characters, she wrote "Consequences," the fourth and last of the series. It was published in the Spring of 2013. It was time to end the series. "Choices" lead to "Consequences," eventually. In addition to these books, available in paperback and eBook formats,Carole also publishes eBooks. Carole's days are spent taking care of her two cats, walking along the beach, answering emails, writing on her blogs, and writing more books. Much of her time is focused on writing. A note from Carole McKee: "I love to write and I will continue to write until my fingers fall off--God forbid.
